Ka pai tō mahi. We're super pumped to announce that construction has just been completed on a new well in Madalitso's community! This means dirty water won't stop Madalitso and other kids from achieving their dreams.

Around the world, in rural villages and refugee camps, clean water is starting to flow. Whether you raised $10 or $1,000 it all counts. Thank you for your awesome energy and commitment to changing everything with clean water through your World Vision 40 Hour Challenge.

Ka ora te wai, ka ora te whenua, ka ora te whenua, ka ora te tāngata – With living water, the land will thrive. With living lands, the people will thrive.

You are incredible! Watch what you were part of...

You’ve helped change everything for kids who urgently need clean water. And it’s change that will last.

We can’t thank you enough for being part of the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge, but we made this highlights reel to try.

PSA: There's still time to bank your funds and call in any last-minute donations. With your help, we can reach even more kids with clean water. This is our time!
